OT: Bins with other people's wrong stuff in them

Sad story but the only person I ever knew who was fired from the USPS was fired for "misdelivering the mail". When He got that big package of junk from a spammer and he knew everyone was getting one, he just gave everyone one. Someone complained because they were getting junk mail with someone else's name on it he tried to explain they were going to get that junk mail anyway. No matter, he was fired.

Same here, we have a bench for deliveries, guarded by my pet Yellow Rat snake.

And somehow this snake can distinguish between people leaving parcels and people taking them?

If everyone was to get one, why were they named? Stuff like that here (even if it comes with the mail) has "to the occupier" on it.

Car boot sales usually have a few folk with about 500 paperbacks. Dunno where they all come from.

We don't have a horticulture truck. Just another bin to put stuff in. Bigger than that, chop it first or take it yourself.

So that gets round the law then?

And you don't think this is insane? You're doing no harm putting your flyers in the mailbox.

It's up to you if you lock it or not, but having a law stopping someone = putting something in the box incase they take something out (when you di= dn't bother locking it) is insane.

So you prefer junk mail to be scattered all over your property?

It's very easy to sort junk from mail. The junk is brightly coloured wi= th no address on it. The mail is in white envelopes.

Still by the back porch. Frankly, I rather have packages go there than in the mailbox, which is right out by the road. It wouldn't take but a second for someone to stop their car, reach in, and remove something. It's a little more obvious to walk up to the house.

Prick.

Do you know that you and all the rest of you are replying to the well known sociopath/psychopath Peter Hucker? You have all been trolled, that is what this worthless unemployable sad creature does.

I can't believe you guys actually have your private mail accessible to the public. Anyone with a box here has it locked. You push stuff in the top through a flap, and you can only get it back out by unlocking the bottom.
